Massage and Allow Coffee Grounds to Sit
Massage the coffee grounds into the fur and skin gently. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the natural flea-repelling properties to take effect.
Rinse Thoroughly
Rinse your pet thoroughly with lukewarm water to remove all the coffee grounds.
Shampoo and Final Rinse
Apply a mild pet shampoo and rinse again to ensure all coffee grounds and any remaining residues are washed away.
Dry Your Pet
